Fine to get to in 2WD if weather has been dry, we had no issues in a Mitsubishi L300 and a Toyota hatchback showed up when we were there. Just check the weather to make sure there's no heavy rain forecast for when you're there. Flushing toilets open in the summer. Lots of sandflies which were annoying but bearable with protection and repelant. Very limited phone signal if lucky, or nothing at all.
Beautiful view, lots of sandflies especially in the long drop. Very rough road with big fords to cross.
We crossed some fords but 3 min before the camp there was a longer deeper one where we got afraid, we went back to diamond lake.
Fords were too deep to cross. Camp for free at Diamond Lake instead.
Nice view but too much sandflies and bumblebees…
Visited on 10th June 2020, and the road has been washed away just before the campsite. Can drive around but only in 4wd. Streams were passable after not much rain for a few days. I had to park up about 500m short of campsite and walk. Still made it that far in a 2wd camper, but bouncy in places.
A beautiful place at the end of the world. Several mice came into the van at night.
5 days later and i still can’t walk from all the sandfly bites i got on my feet. Also part of the walking track was closed due to flooding. Flush toilets closed due to draught, dump toilet full of sandflies just waiting to get at ya. Long drive, with loads of rivercrossing. All in all would not recommend. It is beautiful and secluded, though.
A super nice place. Unfortunately, he is currently not reachable by camper. We walked there for 1 hour.
We drove up from Diamond Lake just south of Paradise in our campervan to visit this spot in late June. Very pretty, peaceful drive. Not much rain or snow in the days before we got there so the fords were passable. They are repairing the road so it is a bit rough in spots for a van, but drivable if you go slow. Be warned, there were a decent amount of sandflies here in 4C and with frost on the ground. It will be much worse in summer!
